why not do it the plan 9 way, if you're going to write a complete client
anyway? ircfs? sounds right, doesn it?

$ ircfs <mynick> <myserver>
$ cd /irc/#mychan1
$ echo "hi all" >> data
$ cat topic
$ ls 				# /who #mychan1

(in a different window)
$ cd /irc/#mychan2
$ #...

andrey

ps: i'd gladly write it myself have i had a working plan9 installation.
how many times have we heard that excuse :)
